Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, which usually occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow good air circulation. Zinnias prefer full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
